Description

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Data Access Monitor (DAMON) reclaim and Least Recently Used (LRU) sort mechanisms. This vulnerability arises from an incorrect assumption that a memory allocation will always succeed. If the allocation fails, a NULL pointer is dereferenced, which can lead to system instability or a denial of service. While this issue is expected to occur infrequently, its potential impact is significant.
